When news broke on Christmas Eve that the Philadelphia Eagles were releasing tight end Kevin Foelsch from their practice squad, fans had a pretty good feeling about what was coming next: Howie Roseman was looking to add a fourth quarterback to the roster.

When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles, the most popular player on the roster is usually the backup quarterback… unless that player is Kenny Pickett.

Deep into Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, a little levity can’t hurt with all the stories pitting Russell Wilson against Justin Fields. It’s just jokes, right?

While it may not be the biggest or most impactful trade by any means, the Kenny Pickett trade has to be one of (if not) the most eyebrow-raising deals of the 2024 NFL offseason.
